Judy Campbell Parent was called home to her Lord and Savior on Thursday, November 8, 2012. Her passing was the result of a long-standing chronic illness but was completely unexpected. She was born on August 8, 1947, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the daughter of the late Dorothy Lawson Campbell and the late Colonel Charles Spencer Campbell Sr., U.S. Army (Ret). She had one sibling, Colonel Charles Spencer Campbell Jr., U.S. Army (Ret).

Judy and Spence Jr. grew up in a military family and proudly called themselves Army Brats. Their father’s military service took the family around the world and they lived in Salzburg, Austria, and Taipei, Taiwan, as children and in Anniston, Alabama, and Charleston, South Carolina, as teens. Judy attended the College of Charleston, became a member of Chi Omega, and graduated with a BS degree in 1970. She worked for several years as a Delta Flight Attendant and, after injuries suffered during turbulent weather, she and her husband, Michael, owned and operated a travel agency in Grapevine, Texas.

She and Mike met in an elevator in San Diego and were married at First Scot’s Presbyterian Church in Charleston in 1977. He was a career Delta pilot who retired, and they then moved to the N.C. mountains in 1996. At that time, both worked as volunteers for Precept Ministries, traveling with Kay Arthur, explaining the Precept approach to Bible Study. Subsequently, they moved to Hendersonville in 2001, shortly after her mother moved here.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her husband, Mike; her brother and sister-in-law, Spence and Marianne Campbell; niece, Cathy (husband Kenneth Knox Whitlow); a nephew, Robert Douglas Campbell; daughter-in-law, Jocelyn; and grandchildren, Joshua, Jennifer, Jessica Parent and Maya Elizabeth Smith.

A visitation and celebration of life service will be held at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, N.C., at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, November 30, 2012. Visitation will be at the church for 30 minutes prior to the service.
